He has been seen drinking at roof-gardens with a certain dissipated pugilist named Little Sullivan, and was traced with this man to the apartment of a song-and-dance woman named Violette. He seems to be spending money extravagantly and visits certain bohemian quarters in the vicinity of Jones Street, where he puts in his time with disreputable-looking men. I beg leave to advise immediate action.
As she surveyed that bulk Terry realized that while Ruby might still claim eccentricity, her song-and-dance days were over. "That's ancient history, m' dear. I haven't been working for three years. What're you doing in this joint? I'd heard you'd done well for yourself. That you were married." "I am. That is I well, I am.
If you'd only done what I suggested at Austerlitz, and lost a leg, it would have been different. The people don't ask much song-and-dance business from a one-legged man." "We compromised with you there," retorted Napoleon. "At Ratisbon our imperial foot was laid up for a week." "Yes but you didn't lose it," returned Fouche. "Can't you see the difference?
Her first object was to make them happy and contented, and to this end she invented and, arranged games and songs and stories, contrived little incidents and managed little surprises with never failing ingenuity.

Then the face of the song-and-dance artiste at Jake's flashed across his memory and the next minute he was pounding heavily after the girl. "Hey, Ma'am! Wait a second!" he panted. Willa turned.

"I'd rehearsed my song-and-dance until we thought it was perfect. What made you suspicious, Lockley? Did you notice we kept the communicator aimed right so you'd hear through to the end?

I shall probably receive a summons, by telegram, to Berlin, in eight or ten days, and then good-by to this song-and-dance.

It was circus day when we came to town, and every day was circus day, for there were many towns. In the evenings our camps were invaded by whole populations. Every company had its campfire, and around each fire something was doing. The cooks in my company, Company L, were song-and-dance artists and contributed most of our entertainment.
